A Sample Script

Series 60 sample screen		UIQ sample screen

A script is like an application you can run. As an example, let's open the Partytime script:

Series 60:	Navigate to Partytime and press the confirm button.
UIQ:	Select Partytime with the pen.

This will show the script's empty console. To start the script:

Series 60:	Press the confirm button again.
UIQ:	Press the button.

The script runs and prints Waiting... on the console. Now have a friend send you an SMS with the text "party". After a few seconds she should automatically receive a reply from you, sent from the Partytime script. In fact, the script acts as a very simple automatic SMS service.

Stop the script by selecting Process→Stop. You have just successfully used your first m script!

You can look at the script by selecting Process→Edit Source.

If you want to change the reply message, or the text triggering the reply, simply edit the script. File→Save & Go will start the script again, with your changes. See section * () for details.

For your convenience, the complete script is printed here, with comments added:
